Comments on the site identification

  • Identity is ambiguous. This record is the only one in the Mining Mag. table for any U mines in this area, therefore it probably refers to the former processing plant about 2 mi. NE of Jeffrey City tucked in Sweetwater Rocks, south of Sweetwater River and the Oregon Trail. From this location, deduce that the PLSS is Secs. 1, 2, 11, 12 T29N, R92W.
